 'Women's only' language found among Chinese [Free Republic]
Secret folk traditions developed among Hunan women, who expressed in Nu Shu songs their melancholy fate of married drudgery.
The language, Nu Shu, is fading away as women become emancipated from age-old traditions of rural life and China puts economic progress before preserving its heritage.
Men could not understand Nu Shu, developed over hundreds of years among peasant women, when Chinese girls were denied formal education and had their feet bound to enhance sexual attraction.

 New Reviews [Extreme Metal]
This album could be considered as the crossroad between death metal, nu-metal, and Sepultura.
This is a refined 9 song journey to the different ends of the metal spectrum: a combination of a black metal vocal and death grunts, orchestral keyboards as well delicate piano parts, melodic death, doom metal as well as bay old school thrash riffs.
The result was “Incantations”, a journey to the realms of darkness combining the death metal approach of Bolt Thrower with dark metal elements and fragments of horror movies.

 Rayyn - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links
Inspired by how Jars of Clay and the Dave Matthews Band incorporated elements of folk and modern rock on their albums, Rayyn bought his first synthesizer and began crafting the subtle hooks of his 2000 self-titled debut.
When he returned to the Philippines, Rayyn (short for Raymond -- the double �y" is for numerological reasons) started working at various jobs but his need to write songs grew.
He produced and arranged the album himself; furthermore, he performed every instrument on the album except for Eric Villadelgado's guitar contribution on �Hold On".

 Metal Maniacs - Metal Talk Forum - Retro metal is for idiots.
still rather listen to those who rehash 80s metal than listen to nu-metal,emo, or any of that shit...
These styles of metal were completely exhausted in 1988, and current bands in this style serve to rehash the most easily digestable and obvious elements of those bands for idiots who are too "cool" for Britney Spears and are congratulating themselves on being "different".
People who listen to new speed, thrash, power, or heavy metal bands are morons.

 New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock KA-KH
Karuna were a group of Finnish musicians who played a very peaceful, meditative and partially improvised instrumental music that drew heavily from Asian and Eastern European folk music.
These are very broad comparisons, made more to reflect the group's approach than the music, but they should offer a good starting point for those who have not heard of Kayak or their music.
Instrumentally, the music of Kansas is noted for the ubiquitous presence of violin as a lead instrument, dual lead guitars (ala Wishbone Ash), extensive orchestration and melodic interplay, and tight playing.

 Cong-Huyen-Ton-Nu Nha-Trang -- Research Papers
The leading figures in the movement, beside looking to French poetry for inspiration, also turned to folk poetry and were perfectly happy to compose a great number of their verses in folk prosody, notably the luc bat form previously used in verse narratives.
It should be noted that the full development of a satisfactory language for prose writing, particularly for prose fiction, had to wait until the 1930s when numerous short stories and novels displayed sophistication in the handling of vocabulary and syntactic structures.
It would be fair, however, to acknowledge the equally important role played by their predecessor, Phu Nu Tan Van, the women’s periodical mentioned before, which served as a significant forum for the development of modern literature in both content and form.

Guignol's grand meltdown of English and European folk styles, jazz, nu-improv and progressive rock may read like a sprawling mess, but mysteriously it works on every level and deserves to be heard..."
As deranged and compelling as the album is throughout, the first couple of tracks could have benefited from either more pre-meditation or less altogether, and the noticeable sense of concept that oversees the project occasionally clouds the initial dark folk compositions and the St. Vitus' dance of their unruly initial improvisations.
Given the personnel involved it's not surprising that we're served an intriguing and brave sonic statement that transcends most conventions there are, finding their own favorite vista on some secret island with the futuristic ocean on one side and the historic on the other.

 India Arie is the New Soul Diva, But Not a Ditto
Acoustic Soul, the debut album from the Denver-born chanteuse, is an eclectic tour through her brand of nu-ness—a melange that is equal parts soul, folk, and unvarnished R&B. These influences don't always come together smoothly, and Acoustic Soul is an uneven debut, but Arie can hardly be dismissed as a nappy knockoff.
It could be that time and experience done turned me skeptical, but I figured soul child India.Arie for a Jill Badu, a project spit out by the marketing-machine cogs at Motown.
